Default First LS1

Hello LS1Tech! Well to start things off, i'm a Ford defector. My family has owned nothing but Fords but I'm the first to own a GM vehicle. I recently traded in my 1990 Mustang 5.0 LX hatch for a 2002 Collector Edition WS6 Trans Am. It's a convertible with an A4, not my first choice of body and transmission but i fell in love with it after the first drive and haven't looked back. Plus it's only got 41K on the clock with only one previous owner. Anyway, enough ranting, in short, I will do my best to be a positive contribution to the board
